Blender for OSX or Windows are great to install and automatic file association (not .zip version), but for linux, Ubuntu for example, we need to use the .tar.gz version, without file association, IF we want the lastest version. To make it works we need to install the repository version and change the /usr/bin/blender, making a link for the new one. This was the "user" workaround I was always doing. At the end I realize the biggest problem is that Blender version from repository is ALWAYS outdated, and it suppose to be the easiest and best way to install a software. And not only Blender, but most of softwares from Ubuntu (and other linuxes?) are outdated. So, first my question is: can we upgrade directly Blender from repository? I know there is some ppa repo for that, but we are talking here about an official Blender release, so would be great if it goes straight to the official or at least community Ubuntu repositories. If not, can we still have the same features, mainly the file association, on the .deb .rpm file?
